Saturday Morning Ride - 100% totally innocent

So the big bike story is that federal investigators have dropped their investigation of 7 time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong. "The hurdle for prosecutors wasn't so much to prove whether any particular cyclist used drugs, but to determine if Armstrong and other team members violated federal conspiracy, fraud or racketeering charges." He's still being investigated by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. As my dad says when filling out his March Madness bracket - "Winners win".

The December CaBi data is now available. Trips and miles are both down for the winter, but one thing that's up is the number of bikes available. From 931 to 1120 bikes. Trips per bike per day were down to 2.5. The lowest they've been since March. None of this is too surprising.

Obama's new Veterans Job Corps could help improve biking on national lands. "The Veterans Job Corps will involve projects such as repairing trails, roads, levees and recreational facilities, according to the White House." Which is good for DC, since we have a lot of national land around here.

Sorry, I don't see that. I see a link to a story about red top parking meters for people with handicap placards and a warning to drivers to beware of these. No mention of where the new bike parking is downtown.
